​Egypt, represented by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA), participates in the meetings of the Working Groups of ITU-R's Study Group 7 (SG-7) which will be held in the period from 4 to 12 April 2017 in Geneva - Switzerland.​

SG-7 is responsible for scientific services such as the study of time-signal services, including the application of satellite techniques, on a worldwide basis, standard emission of frequencies, space applications for radiocommunication such as space operation systems, space research, earth exploration and meteorology, including the use of relevant links in the inter-satellite services, systems for remote sensing, as well as radio astronomy and radar astronomy. The seventh SG-7 is composed of four Working Parties. It should be noted that some items of the agenda of the next World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) that will be discussed in the group's meetings are of great importance to the Egyptian administration thanks to their impact on systems operating in fixed and mobile services.
